Adam Weatherby, grandson of founder Roy Weatherby and current CEO of the company, said the move away from California just made sense.

“We wanted a place where we could retain a great workforce, and where our employees could live an outdoor lifestyle,” said Weatherby. “We wanted to move to a state where we can grow into our brand. Wyoming means new opportunities. We are not interested in maintaining; we are growing.”

I like love shotguns. I probably use shotguns more than any other type of firearm. My first gun was a shingle shot 20 gauge. Before the tragic canoe adventure on The Big Chip i had single shots, pumps and over/unders. The one type that didn't go to the bottom was a semi-auto. Never had one.
